Ancelotti bewildered by Real Madrid’s inexplicable comeback victory over Bayern

“Inexplicable” is the word Carlo Ancelotti used to describe Real Madrid’s comeback victory over Bayern Munich in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League (UCL) semi-final clash on Wednesday.

Alphonso Davies had given Bayern the lead in the 68th minute, but Joselu came on to net a late brace and send Madrid to their 18th UCL final, much to the delight of the Santiago Bernabéu crowd.

“It’s happened again. Something that has happened time after time, which is inexplicable, has happened again,” Ancelloti told Madrid’s media.

The Italian continued, “It’s hard to explain. Impossible to explain. It’s the magic of this club in this competition, at this stadium and with these fans.

“It’s special. When you pull on this jersey, you feel something special. The fans made the difference tonight, like they have in the past. It almost feels like a habit to do this at this magnificent stadium in front of these magnificent fans. We’re delighted to be able to play at this stadium with our fans.”

Having won their 36th La Liga title last weekend, Madrid will be eyeing their 15th UCL trophy when take on co-finalist Borrusia Dortmund at Wembley Stadium on June 1.
